Welcome to Gilly's Place

A few years ago my granddaughters asked me to put together a cookbook of about 20 family favorite recipes and when I did the 20 pages looked rather skimpy so I added more, and more, and more till their binders held 60. Heavily embellished I gave them to the girls at Christmastime. Every Christmas since then I've added 60 more pages to their collections and have reached the 300 mark...and they're looking forward to getting even more. These are not random recipes, they're all tried and true. Anyway, when word got around it seems everybody and their second cousin wanted a cookbook so I began selling them to cover the cost of materials and now I'm passing them on to others as digital freebies, who like me, enjoy family, friends, cooking, and sharing. Print the pages to a standard letter size and save them in any old binder that blends with your kitchen. Please do print them for yourself and gift-giving to family and friends but please do not claim as your own as it wouldn't be fair to the designers I buy from or the wonderful talent that is freely given by bloggers. I'd love to hear from you and if you leave a comment on a post I will reply on the same. Please don't leave anything on the 4shared page, I seldom think to check those.

Potato Soup Mix (in a jar)

Morning all!  Don't know about you but my comfort food is soup, all kinds of soup, even this 1/2 cup dry mix to 1 cup of water ready-to-eat-in-a-minute stuff has its place in the world for me.  I suffer from secondary insomnia and often when I can't get back to sleep and it's really too late in the PM or too early in the AM for coffee a cup of warm soup will sometimes lull me back to sleep.  Now if you'd asked me years ago about pet peeves instant mashed potatoes would have been right up there with powdered milk.  Guess I just hadn't found a good use for them YET.  This isn't bad at all just don't make it with milk...AWFUL!  The tag reads water and water it is.  I had tried the milk at someone's suggestion but...AWFUL!  Easy to pour a single serving or make a one-quart pot which is perfect for a day in front of the TV watching a season series in just one day.  BTW, I used Betty Crocker Potato Buds and Carnation Instant Milk for this one.  Have a go at it, it just might surprise you.


Thanks for stopping by, catch ya' later!
